Lyrics

well the lake is blue
and the sky is too
and the moon is shining bright
it's a mountain town
babe you can't get down
where are you tonight

they closed up the block
and the souvenir shops
and the street is starting to glow
you'd better get past the past
and do it fast
if you wanna take the future slow

won't you come out tonight
I don't know how long I'll stay
won't you come out tonight
babe I'd love to see your face

with yer sweater on
and yer blues all gone
breathe that mountain air
from the allegheny's
to the ozark's baby
they take away yer cares

it's Friday night and
you can hear em fightin
in the stadium
cross town
I gotta work in the mornin
but if the game gets boring
well I guess I can stick around

won't you come out tonight
I don't know how long I'll stay
won't you come out tonight
babe I'd love to see your face

and if it aint even real
baby I'll still kneel
I forget to pray sometimes
but when I do
I pray for you
and I hope that you'll be mine

won't you come out tonight
I don't know how long I'll stay
won't you come out tonight
babe I'd love to see your face
